The competition complications of Turnbull's NBN

Turnbull's plan to create an NBN model with a competitive infrastructure may cause competitors to target wealthier urban areas that would undermine NBN Co's profitability.

While the details are vague, it would appear Malcolm Turnbull is committed to a national broadband model that includes competitive infrastructure. That may mean that an issue that proved intractable in the past — and which ultimately led to Labor’s NBN — may yet resurface.
